Off to the insurance company I go!



Recommended Posts

I called to check if my chart was still in medical review. I passed medical review and my packet was sent to the insurance company. I hope the insurance company doesn't take forever. I have UHC Choice Plus. I am excited, but scared that I am going to be denied.

I am so ready for this. Can't wait to be off some of my meds and to be rid of my horrible heartburn. Being thinner is just going to be a bonus.

I am so furious!! I was told that my packet was sent to insurance last week. The insurance coordinator was not even in the office last week. Now why couldn't of they just told me that? I am not going to get attitude with them I would of waited patiently for for my info to be sent off. I called this morning and basically got chewed out by a receptionist. They told me, I would receive a phone call when they heard back from insurance. Well, I want to know when they send it to the insurance company so I call and get updates from them.

I honestly think I was put on this earth to bug doctor's offices and insurance companies...lol. When I was going to have back surgery in February, I called UHC so much that they put a rush on my case. It was approved the next day after the supposed rush was put on it. They where even nice to call me and tell me I had been approved. I also have the number to their clinical specialist department, I don't know if this is the department that makes the decisions or not, but they where always able to give me more info about my case, then people could if I called the number on the back of the card.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
